Mixed emotions

November 27th, 2013 at 03:32 pm

So after my high from yearly budgeting, I have hit a low from finding out my car is leaking oil. Can I drive a car that is leaking oil for another year? Maybe it won't be too horrible of a repair? My husband is going to look at it and see. Then I am overwhelmed by celebrating Thanksgiving without my brother here. With it only being 3 months since his death I don't know how to feel. Grateful for the time I had with him? Sad he isn't here? Angry that he was taken from us? Thankful for the great things we do have? It is just a lot of mixed emotions.


And more of the money front, I am picking up our turkey in a few hours. (With money that has been set aside for a month) Everything else I need has been purchased. I do plan on hitting up some sales, with Christmas budget money that I have set aside. And I hope to spend nothing else!


Happy Thanksgiving to you all! I am very thankful for SA and my SA friends.

    ((hugs)) The grief process is ongoing. I have days where years later I think I am doing fine, but then I will just go on a crying jag. I take comfort in happy memories, but sometimes the new happy times don't feel exactly right because of what is missing.

    Enjoy your time with family ...

    Every holiday will be hard for a while. I lost my brother six years ago, and Thanksgiving is the hardest of all, because I still expect to see him walk into the room (and spill the cranberry sauce, but that's another story!) It helps to be grateful for the time you had, for the lessons you learned from him, and for the love you still feel, and always will.

    ((Hugs))Just feel it all, none of it is wrong.

    I lost my brother 23 years ago. I still miss him, but remembering no longer brings sorrow. Thinking of past good times brings joy. Enjoy your holiday! Smile
